A 27.4 kg dog is running northward at 2.19 m/s , while a 7.19 kg cat is running eastward at 2.78 m/s . Their 75.7 kg owner has t

he same momentum as the two pets taken together. Find the direction and magnitude of the owner's velocity.

Answer:

\| \vec v\| = 0.836\,\frac{m}{s}, \alpha = 71.577^{\textdegree} (Northeast)

Explanation:

Let consider that owner has the resultant direction of the momentums from the dog and the cat. First, the momentum of the owner is:

\|\vec p \| = \sqrt{\left[(27.4\,kg)\cdot \left(2.19\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\right]^{2}+\left[(7.19\,kg)\cdot \left(2.78\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\right]^{2}}

\|\vec p \| = 63.248\,kg\cdot \frac{m}{s}

The speed of the owner is:

\|\vec v \| = \frac{63.248\,kg\cdot \frac{m}{s}}{75.7\,kg}

\| \vec v\| = 0.836\,\frac{m}{s}

Lastly, the direction of the owner is:

\alpha = \tan^{-1}\left[\frac{(27.4\,kg)\cdot \left(2.19\,\frac{m}{s} \right)}{(7.19\,kg)\cdot \left(2.78\,\frac{m}{s} \right)} \right]

\alpha = 71.577^{\textdegree} (Northeast)

The stopping distances associated with slower speeds approximate the forward visibilities provided by low beam lights. However,
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Illumination distance is the distance, up to which the light of the vehicle can reach. Hence, it is a maximum distance from the, that driver can see.

Stopping distance is the minimum distance required by the car to stop after brakes are applied.

So, in order to avoid any accident the illumination distance must be greater than the stopping distance. So, the driver can stop the vehicle in time, when he sees something in front of it.

Since, the stopping distance in this case is two or three times longer than illumination distance. Therefore, low beam light does not provide enough visibility in high speed driving situations.

Hence, the correct option is:

You throw a 50.0g blob of clay directly at the wall with an initial velocity of -5.00 m/s i. The clay sticks to the wall, and th
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:0.25 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of blob m=50 gm

initial velocity u=-5 m/s\ \hat{i}

time of collision t=20 ms

we know Impulse is equal to change in momentum

initial momentum P_i=mu

P_i=50\times 10^{-3}\times (-5)=-0.25 kg-m/s

Final momentum P_f=50\times 10^{-3}v

P_f=0 as final velocity is zero

Impulse J=P_f-P_i

J=0-(-0.25)

J=0.25 kg-m/s

Three cars collide, a 1500 kg sports car, a 1750 kg family car, and a 1200 kg compact car. Which experiences the greatest change
sweet [91]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

This is because momentum is defined as p = mv

delta p = Force *time

neither velocity nor time is given so a conclusion cannot be made on which has the greatest momentum change.
